In reply to: really . . . how bad is it to use stencils posted by Anne in CT on September 19, 2001 at 13:30:07:

i would have hennaed you. it is hard enough to have pain, know what
might help but have it out of your reach. i have been helping my mom
in law to the dr.s, shopping, in and out of hot tub, laundry,
cleaning ...etc, because she has an hmo that takes too long to get
anything done. we finally got her into some pain therapy and other
therapy after 6 months, but having to watch her go through that was
very hard. she was very fusturated, but now is getting better. i
hope that you get better.
when i use a stencil it is a very simplistic one using tracing paper
and a 6b charcole pencil. the general one seems to work the best.
just flip over the tracing and rub while holding it still against
your skin. i have never had problems with this method, i hope it
helps. email if you need more information. jennifer
